The spring wind once again blew to the land of Liaodong. Although it is more than a month later than the rest of the Silk Country, the sight of everything coming back to life is always pleasant. In this gradually warming air, there is a will to fight.

Since the First Battle of Liaoshui, the situation of the Goryeo army and the army of the country of silk has changed dramatically. Due to the loss of troops, Goryeo's forces were no longer enough to maintain the defense of the vast area south of Liaoshui, so Goryeo gathered forces to retreat to Xuansu Fortress, completely abandoning a large area of land in the northwest. Xuansu City is located in the hilly belt of eastern Liaodong, along the road to the Yalu River, as long as it can hold this place, then nearly half of the land south of Liaoshui is still in the hands of Goryeo. Ah Yizhi wrote a letter to the imperial court, asking King Cui Wende to send reinforcements to come, and wait for the pathology to recover before trying to forge ahead.

And Chang Miao took a short rest in Pingcheng and sent 120,000 troops to Xuansu City. During this time, he was able to recapture the abandoned city of Goryeo without much effort, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted. Chang Miao led the army to set up camp in the Heiyuan Ridge, which was less than a hundred miles away from Xuansu City, and planned to attack Xuansu City.

An important battle meeting was being held in Chang Miao's tent right now. It's a matter of confidentiality, and the participants are all high-ranking generals of the Silk Country. However, there are two exceptions, that is, Wang Hanxin and Gao Dingbian, two young people. Chang Miao was very interested in these two people and intended to train these two people, so the two of them were allowed to participate in this meeting, of course, they did not have the right to speak.

On the ground, there was a simulated topographic map of Xuansu City and its surroundings made of dirt, Chang Miao looked at this map with a solemn face, pointed at Xuansu City with a sword in his hand and said: "Everyone, please see, Xuansu City is actually not a particularly strong city, and the scale is also limited, so it is impossible to station too many troops. According to intelligence, the number of troops in the city was only about 5,000. Ah Yi Zhi had already set up his forces along the line of Xuansu Castle, waiting for reinforcements from the Goryeo Kingdom. Now only one side of Xuansu City can be directly attacked by our army, they are guarding this front, and the various departments echo each other, stretching for more than ten miles, completely controlling the road leading to the Yalu River. If we launch a full-scale attack, we will have a slight shortage of troops. Moreover, if their reinforcements arrive, the current superiority of our army in forces will not exist. What we need to consider now is how to break through this front as soon as possible before the arrival of reinforcements from Goryeo. ”

He Ling looked at the location of the enemy's battalions displayed on the map, frowned, and said, "These camps are properly arranged, and they are deeply suitable for the way of using troops. Ah Yi Zhi really deserves to be the general of Goryeo, and from this point of view, there are almost no loopholes. ”

Bi Wanchun said: "It seems that Xuansu City is a vital joint, as long as this city is breached, the enemy's defense will be cut through it, and it will be unsustainable." But ・・・・・・"

"But no matter how you look at it, it looks like a decoy deliberately set by Ah Yizhi to lure our army to attack Xuansu City." Su Chengdong said with a frown.

"Yes, that's a trap. There is only one side of Xuansu City to attack, and its defense must be very adequate, and if our army attacks this city with all its might, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the rest of their troops can respond at any time. He Ling added.

Wu Yuanlong scratched his head as if he wanted to say something, Zhong He opened his mouth first: "Judging from this map, there are almost no flaws in the layout of the enemy army, and the only weakness is the lack of troops in Xuansu City, but this is obviously a decoy, and the other departments can rush to the aid of this city at any time." ”

"If we can break through the two camps on the left and right of Xuansu City, then our army can surround Xuansu City on three sides." Hua Meng's voice was as huge as his size, and it shook the ears of everyone in the tent.

Chang Miao smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid this is difficult." The left and right villages are heavily guarded, and even if these two camps are captured, their areas are too small, and it is difficult for our army to spread out a formation on both sides, but will suffer from the enemy's surprise attack because the formation is too thin. ”

Chang Miao's words made all the generals stop, and the tent fell silent. At this time, Xue Boren suddenly spoke: "Lord Duhu, there is indeed no flaw in this formation of Ah Yizhi. But we can create a flaw in it. There is an eye in this formation, and if this eye is captured, then our army will have the initiative, and their actions will be constrained everywhere, so that although we have not yet won, it is not far off. ”

Chang Miao's eyes flashed, and he blurted out: "Brother Xue said that the eye of the array is not Hushou Mountain?" ”

"Not bad! It is Hushou Mountain, this mountain is the highest peak in this area, almost overlooking the entire area, and from here you can attack from all sides, and other parts of our army to form a flank attack on the white pine forest, Lao Ya Slope, and shallow stream. Especially the white pine forest, once this place is captured by our army, the flank of Xuansu City will be exposed, so that it can not only attack Xuansu City, but also flank the camp outside the city, and can further march to block the back road of Xuansu City, once our army reaches the encirclement, the enemy army in Xuansu City is the turtle in the urn. ”

Chang Miao's eyes were glued to the map, but he said: "It's just such an important place, it is impossible for Ah Yizhi not to understand the stakes, and he must have set up a heavy guard, and Hushou Mountain is located in the enemy's formation, so it may not be easy to capture here." ”

"Then storm other places, force Hushou Mountain to rush to help, and we can just take advantage of the weakness to enter!" Wang Hanxin, who had been standing behind Xue Boren and watching, suddenly spoke.

Xue Boren angrily reprimanded: "Hugh is presumptuous! There's no place for you to speak here! ”

Wang Hanxin was told by him, so he had to retreat. After Xue Boren stopped Wang Hanxin, he continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive him for his recklessness. Although Wang Hanxin was bold and reckless, what he said was not unreasonable. Since there is no flaw in the formation of Ah Yizhi, and he deliberately used Xuanfu City to lure our army into the bait, our army might as well make a plan to come out and pretend to storm all the places around Xuansu City. At the same time, they made a feint attack on the entire front of the Goryeo army, so that they had no time to rush to the aid of Xuansu City. Force the enemy of Hushou Mountain to come out for reinforcements, and then we will raid Hushou Mountain with heavy troops and seize this mountain in one fell swoop! ”

Chang Miao nodded with satisfaction at this time and said, "Okay!" According to Brother Xue's plan, then our highlight this time is to quickly attack Hushou Mountain. Such a heavy task may not be Brother Xue's Tiger Guard Battalion. ”

When Xue Boren heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The lower officials will obey the orders of the Lord Duhu!" ”

Now that the plan to attack Xuanfu City has been decided, Chang Miao began to plan with the generals how to implement it. Wang Hanxin and Gao Ding retired first when they saw this and went out of the big tent. Wang Hanxin let out a sigh of relief and said, "What's the matter, I don't even let me say a word, I'm suffocated." ”

Gao Ding pushed him, and said: "You are also bold, we can have the honor to attend the meeting are all taken care of by the Lord Duhu, and you still interject!" ”

Wang Hanxin said with a hippie smile: "Big brother, don't be so serious, since we are here, we should speak freely, otherwise why do we hold this meeting?" ”

"You're just a crooked. Having said that, this battle tiger guard battalion has been entrusted with a heavy task, and you and I should fight hard to kill the enemy in order to go further in our careers. ”

Wang Hanxin jumped on Gao Dingbian's back from behind, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are too greedy, you have already been promoted to the eighth rank after only one month of joining the army, are you still not satisfied?" With this kung fu fooling around, you might as well teach me marksmanship, you can single-handedly challenge the enemy general, I can't do it, I can't really call you to save me if I really encounter a hard hand. ”

Gao Dingbian couldn't shake off Wang Hanxin's entanglement, and said with a smile: "Okay, come down, a disgusting guy like you has to be careful, others will be the first to kill you." ”

"These two have a really good relationship, Lord Gai." Xue Boren stepped forward slowly and said to Gai Yanxiao, who was silently observing the two young generals at the entrance of the big tent.

Gai Yanxiao snorted: "I'm really worried that my nephew will learn badly with you, Lord Xue." ”
